Legendary FBI Detective Chapter 363

Chapter 363: Bargaining, Luo An counterattacks

 A hotel in Washington, a cafeteria.

Looking at Essan Patel in front of him, Luo An picked up the wine glass and took a sip, his mind spinning rapidly.

 The special investigation team was established for two main reasons:

First, the federal network world is developing rapidly, but the FBI's case-handling methods are still somewhat outdated. The newly established special investigation team needs to innovate the FBI's traditional case-handling methods and models, and is a pioneer.

Second, the FBI often needs to cooperate with other federal law enforcement agencies when handling cases, but the failure of the other parties to cooperate will cause many problems. The special investigation team needs to find a new model for efficient cooperation with other law enforcement agencies.

In the words of the other side of the ocean, these ten special investigation teams are “pilot projects” created by the FBI's Washington headquarters.

 Because this is a pilot project, the Washington headquarters gave these ten special investigation teams a lot of authority, making the ten special investigation team controllers have much more power than before.

When he used to work in the No. 5 Investigation Team, Augustus was responsible for the management work. In addition, he had been in the leadership for too short time and had insufficient experience. He was not particularly familiar with the twists and turns inside, so Luo An was very familiar with the special team. There is no particularly clear understanding of the investigation team's excessive authority.

 But people like Eason-Patel are different. Before they became the special investigation team, they were the leaders of the front-line investigation team.

After becoming the leaders of the Special Investigation Team, they immediately figured out how to "reasonably use" the power and authority given to them by the FBI headquarters in Washington.

 Once the seeds of power are released, taking them back will inevitably lead to resistance.

 Eason-Patel and others have this idea, so the special investigation team must not be cancelled.

  If we really want to cancel it, it can't be done now... at least it must be canceled after they are promoted.

 “What you mean by telling me this is…”

Roan's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the reason why Eason-Patel told him this. On the surface, he showed a shocked expression and put down the wine glass in his hand:

“Leader Patel, where did you hear this news? This is impossible! How long has our special investigation team been established?”

 “No one can say for sure about this kind of thing.”

Eason-Patel did not say where he got the information from. As for Roan's statement that the special investigation team had only been established for a short period of time, he smiled disdainfully:

“Isn't it rare that the group of people on Capitol Hill voted to approve the decision in the morning and then invalidated it in the afternoon?”

"Forehead…"

Roan didn't know how to answer. Eason-Patel used the example of the Congress, and he really couldn't refute it.

There are too many things that change day and night, and members' repeated jumps are just basic operations. For example, in the election for the chairman of the parliament, a certain member jumped between "elect" and "not elect" three times in half a day. The voters were left speechless.

“Deputy Leader Greenwood, I have heard about your deeds in Los Angeles. They are very admirable and powerful.”

Seeing that Luo An was silent, Essen-Patel picked up the wine bottle and poured wine into their glasses and said:

“I believe you will be officially promoted to a regular employee this time and become the leader of the Special Investigation Team of the FBI's Los Angeles Division.”

"Thanks."

Luo An smiled, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the other person, and said with a smile:

 “I wonder what Team Leader Patel means?”

“If the special investigation team is cancelled, wouldn't your time have been in vain?”

Ethan-Patel put down his wine glass, stared at Luo An and said in a deep voice:

“I have spoken with Chief Philip of Houston, Chief Wilson of Philadelphia and several other investigation team leaders. The Special Investigation Team is of great significance to the FBI and must not be canceled casually.

Based on your performance during this period, the Washington headquarters will definitely pay attention to your opinions. As long as you tell them the importance of the existence of the special investigation team, plus our support, I believe that the Washington headquarters will give up this time. Eliminate the idea of ​​a special investigative unit. "

After listening to Essen-Patel's words, Luo An sneered from the bottom of his heart, and his face instantly became serious. He raised his glass and said in a deep voice:

“Captain Patel, I didn't expect you to have done so much for our special investigation team! Thank you so much for your hard work.”

Ethan-Patel picked up the wine glass again and said with a smile:

 “It's all for everyone, as it should be.”

Ding-

The two of them touched their wine glasses, raised their heads and took a sip of their wine. Then they put down their glasses. Luo An nodded and said:

"No problem, Team Leader Patel, I will definitely express my opinions to the Washington headquarters tomorrow." Essen-Patel raised the corners of his mouth upon hearing this, and was about to speak when Luo An asked:

 “But what conditions do you offer me?”

Ethan-Patel was stunned for a moment, then his face returned to normal, and he asked with a smile:

 “What does conditional mean?”

Luo An pushed the wine glass aside and said with a smile:

“I am the first person to express my opinions to the Washington headquarters. If you don't give me some benefits, can you rest assured?”

　　…makes sense.”

Ethan-Patel was moved in his heart, and just as he was about to speak, Luo An added:

“If it takes too long, don't use it. It's best to give it to me tomorrow.”

As soon as the voice fell, Essen-Pat fell silent and looked at Luo An quietly. Luo An did not avoid it and looked back with the same smile.

The air on the dining table was quiet for a long time. Essan Patel finally put away the smile on his face, glanced at Luo An coldly, stood up and left the place without saying a word.

 “How rude.”

Looking at the back of Ersan Patel leaving quickly, Luo An sneered with disdain on his face, stood up and went to get another piece of freshly prepared steak.

Ethan-Patel's words just now clearly meant that he wanted to use Luo An as a gunman and let him face the wrath of the Washington headquarters.

Luo An was not a fool, how could he not see this clearly, so he took advantage of the situation and offered benefits.

In fact, he had no intention of raising any objections to the Washington headquarters. He only planned to take advantage of the situation and use it to free Eason-Patel.

Since Luo An's current goal is just to become a regular employee, whether the special investigation team is banned or not will not have much impact on him. As long as he is successful in becoming a regular employee, he will still be the leader of the investigation team anyway.

What's more, Luo An doesn't bother to use those tortuous things to benefit himself. The money is not as much as he made from solving the case.

From the beginning, Eason Patel seemed to be planning to promise benefits to Luo An, but once Luo An said it took too long, it was not difficult to see that the benefits Eason Patel wanted to give Luo An were just empty words. vernacular.

So when he heard Luo An put forward the supplementary conditions, Essen-Patel guessed that Luo An had already seen his thoughts.

Finding that he was almost deceived and tricked by Luo An, he was embarrassed and found that his plan had failed. Eson-Patel naturally turned around and left here.

“I want to sell others and collect the money myself, but I also want to have no contribution, and I even want the person being sold to be grateful to me...”

After finishing the new steak, Luo An drained the wine in the glass and looked at the place where Ethan Patel was sitting just now and sneered:

 “This guy can't be Jewish.”

　　Silently putting Ersan Patel on the blacklist in his head, the petty-minded Luo An was ready to see if he could "help" Ersan Patel in the past few days.

 After eating and drinking, Luo An left the restaurant and returned to the suite, where he found that Mona was awake and playing with the computer.

Hearing the sound, Mona looked up and asked:

"Where have you been?"

 “Let's go have some late-night snacks and chat with a stingy guy.”

Luo An answered with a smile, then sat next to Mona and asked:

 “Why did you wake up?”

“Lacie and Michelle called me just now.”

Mona covered her mouth and yawned, then pointed at the computer screen and said:

 “They are in big trouble.”
